you have done. how important do you think it is for the audience to know that. >> i think it is just important to enjoy the movie, get swept up in a steven spielberg movie. if it moves you and takes you on a ride, we wanted to create a world where the adventure was thick and the stakes were high and with steven spielberg, he is always pushing the envelope of technology. the blend of all those things in such a great character was great. >> when you and andy are on the beat boat together and it blows up and you guys are having fun, what does that look like on set? what are we seeing on set? >> the boat is -- it is kind of like a boat. it is in the shape of a boot but it is not wooden. it doesn't have all of the intricacies of what i real boat has. me and andy are in our suits and helmets with our cameras and stuff and we're in a big
